Well, a little. News came over the weekend that Google is going to bring a little order to Google News by taking a feed from ye olde Associated Press. Google is to pay for an Associated Press license, effectively settling the argument over whether the free Google News aggregator breaches AP's copyright.

Meanwhile, Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales, has told a 'Wikimania' meeting of 300 contributors that the free online ecyclopedia needs to start putting quality over quantity. Wales said the multi-language Wikipedia has now far exceeded its goal of becoming larger than the Encylopedia Britannica. Wikipedia's army of registered users have now put more than 1.2 million entries online. The founder urged contributors to stop writing in such a 'choppy' fashion, and to start identifying sources. Expertise, however, is still not required. To write, you've just got to turn up. In many categories, articles have been edited then re-edited as people on different sides of political or other arguments square off.

Said Wales: "Although we've always had this goal of Britannica quality or better, we're not there yet," he said. "We can no longer feel satisfied and happy when we see these [article] numbers going up. We should continue to turn our attention away from growth and towards quality."

To assist, Wales unveiled a new tool called "Wikiwyg" which will allow readers to edit pages without need to understand basic HTML coding. History, hopes Wales, will no longer be written by the geeks
